Hi All,

Just a word about a novel Norwegian inspired repair to my FP1!

In the above photo you can see that a few well placed hammer blows can solve a leaky gearbox problem. This is a gem of an idea and it uses "traditional tools".

I don`t even know if the repair was successful as the sight glass for the gearbox level is covered in gunge!

Helga my well built FP1, as far as I know, has always been a Norwegian "Gastarbeiter" and came to me from a proper engineering company that, obviously, didn`t employ proper engineering workers.
